Would you like to do one of the most interesting and fast-developing forms of journalism, for a highly regarded international news agency in one of the best cities in the world?
Reuters is looking for someone to join its leading-edge Visual Verification Team.
You will be based in the new Barcelona newsroom and collaborate with colleagues across all disciplines to tell stories in many ways.
Using the latest open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools and techniques you will verify breaking news content, analyse visuals from conflict zones and contribute to special reports, insights and investigations.
Through your ability to search, verify and clear permission for content – your work will impact millions of people through the thousands of broadcasters, digital and text clients Reuters has around the world.
This is a full-time role that demands flexibility to work long hours and some weekends.
About the Role:
As our Visual Verification & Newsgathering Producer you will:
Scan the internet for visuals of breaking news, conflicts and trends to quickly identify original sources and uploads
Use your interpersonal skills to speak to sources, ask them questions and get clearance for Reuters to distribute their content
Use OSINT techniques and tools such as satellite, file imagery, metadata, weather data and other evidence to forensically analyse videos and photographs to establish if they are old, misleading, tampered with or AI-generated
Follow closely the biggest international stories of the day
Track trends and pitch human-led stories
Collaborate with colleagues on special reports and investigations
About You:
You should apply if you are:
Confident and calm in breaking news situations
Good at multi-tasking under pressure
Knowledgeable about the latest OSINT tools and verification processes
Fascinated by international news
Passionate about telling human-led stories
Good at finding untold stories that go beyond the headlines
Ambitious to find and cover stories that will have an impact
Following the latest developments in the digital industry including regarding artificial intelligence
Good at working in a team environment and solo
Proficient at speaking and writing English
Prior experience in social media newsgathering, verification, OSINT work or fact checking would present a clear advantage. However, as full training will be given, a willingness to learn quickly, communicate clearly and work well under pressure are just as important.
